Socials Wall News Gathered by Frances Poste “Theme” meal was held last Tuesday, the 11th — a good ham dinner. There were around thirty people attending. Bingo was played after dinner for those who wanted to stay. Arla Olson and Lucille Holsether called the numbers. The Badlands Quilters held their Christmas party Tuesday afternoon in the smaller room at the Community Center. They had a lot of games and played “Quilt” instead of Bingo, everyone taking part. The table was loaded with all kinds of goodies, very festive. Everyone had a fun time. Mike and Gretchen Rausch have a new grandson born to Anne Jo and Beau on December 6th. He has been named Lincoln John, weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz. and measured 20 1/2 inches long. He has two older brothers, Kaylen and Tyson. Our congratulations go out to the family. Our congratulations, also to Aaron and Emily Kitterman of Rose Hill, Kan., as they have a baby boy, Thomas Boyd, born August 21, 2012. He joins a sister, Ivy. From Wall, grandparents are John and Candee Kitterman, greatgrandparents are Boyd and Ann Kitterman. This is a belated announcement but “best of wishes” are still in order. Did you get to see Santa Claus last Wednesday evening, the 12th, at the Pancake supper at Wall Drug? If you didn’t, you are of the minority as there was a huge crowd! Thank you to all the merchants who put on this annual event! A reception was held at the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Sunday afternoon in honor of Mary Roeder’s graduation from college. We offer our congratulations also. Sherry and Kurth DeLand came on Friday to Wall. They took his mom, Janis Bush, to Rapid City on Saturday and went home to Stromsburg, Neb., on Sunday. Things are so hectic this time of year but the forecast looked relatively nice so they decided to come. We did have light snow on Sunday morning. Last week’s “Courant” had a picture of the new baby of Roseann Eisenbraun and Danny Whidby, born on November 9th. She was at Prairie Village one morning and she has so much dark hair — a precious baby girl. Congratulations to all of the family. Travis Williams came through his surgery last Monday and possibly was dismissed from the hospital on Sunday, the 16th. Thankfully, the tumor was benign but he ended up with them taking 2/3 of his lung, more than they had estimated. We send “get-well” messages to Travis as he recuperates.

We’ll never know what the killer’s motive was — it is so unbelievable and senseless! Pray for those poor people! Lyle and Viola Williams went to the City (Rapid, that is) on Thursday to do Christmas shopping. Michelle Lamphere stopped in Wall on her way to Sioux Falls on Monday to see Grandma Frances. Only I wasn’t home — she left gifts by my front door after phoning me. Told her I would be home in an hour so didn’t think things would freeze, as it wasn’t that cold. The whole community was shocked to hear of Celine Trask’s horrific accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family as she goes through surgeries. Diane Geigle is home from the hospital after back surgery and is doing well. Gerald and Esther Wolford were out to see her last Thursday. Tina Carstensen of Lusk, Wyo., was here over the weekend to visit her folks, the Mettlers. She and her mom were involved in candy making. Gerald and Esther Wolford were in Rapid City on Sunday to visit Carl and Jan Hill and family. Taylor was home from college in Arizona. They enjoyed their greatgrandson Malachi. Grant Holub graduated from the Black Hills State University on Saturday, the 15th. Bill and Kay Leonard were in attendance. Pastor Darwin Kopfmann went to Huron and spent Friday evening and Saturday for an early Christmas with family — his daughter Amy, Jerrod and Ethan Busch; his son Daniel, Carrie, Owen and Carly Kopfmann; and Pastor’s mother-in-law Nellie Jager. It is countdown time until Christmas. Hope you are ready — or do you do like me, I try to bake and make candy, etc. but when the day comes, I quit. And we never miss what I never got done! Have to have news in early for next week — if there is any. Merry Christmas, everyone! TDM Excavation & Heavy Haul Cell: 685-3283 • Wall •Trackhoe •Trenching •Repair Dams & Roads •Heavy Haul Trailer •Dozer •Site Cleanup Todd Sieler Pennington County Courant • December 20, 2012 • Page 4 Wasta Wanderings Submitted by Lloyd & Margee Willey The Wall elementary school Christmas program Monday, December 10th, was just delightful! If you didn’t have the Christmas spirit at the beginning of the evening, you surely would have been at the close of the program. The fifth grade band opened with two traditional Christmas favorites and did well with both. Three Wasta kids, Kole Gallino, John Deering and Ash Grenstiner did their part. Sheridan Deering was part of the recorder group and the light “flutey” sound of the recorder sounded perfect through both their songs. The skit, “It’s Christmas, Carol!” involved elves, ghosts and a chorus casting kindergarten through fifth grade and was just good fun and well done. Wasta was well represented, Louis and Samantha Rancour, Dayton Skillingstad, Connor, Mason and Raiden Crawford and Natalee Armenta. Ms. Christiansen seems to bring out the talent and the teachers and all who participated need thanks so — Thank you! Wasta grandparents can be proud of Katy Humphrey (Carl and Anna Lee Humphrey), Lanie Mae Humphrey, Kaylan Spotted Bear (Mike and Gretchen Rausch), Cameron Ausmann (Dorothy Bathel) and Brody Bryan, great nephew of Faye Bryan. It was a very good program and we appreciate the talent and work that went into it. Also observed was the courteous “audience” of kids who were also performers, but at times were not part of the featured act, but gave attention to those who were “on stage”. Speaking of the Rausch family, Gretchen announced a new grandson, Lincoln John Spotted Bear, born December 6th to Anne Jo and Beau. Brothers are excited! Baby weighed 8 1/2 lbs and was 20 1/2 inches long. Congratulations! Anna Lee Humphrey was a little tired, but as always, looking forward to a good Bingo game Wednesday afternoon. Her table has been the lucky table where the big winners have sat! Good luck this week, Anna Lee. Marilyn Keyser has gone through her “preventative” radiation treatments and is still at her son’s near Dallas, Texas. Please keep both Marilyn and Anna Lee in your thoughts and prayers. We had a “pogonip” day in Wasta Thursday, December 13th. Several Wall Lube & Espresso Bar years ago the Farmer’s Almanac wrote of December Pogonip Days so curiosity led Faye Bryan to investigate and finally a friend in Iowa City came back with the answer! Pogonip is an Eastern Native American word for hoarfrost. So Friday, we’ll be having a Pogonip Party — with or without Pogonip! But it is Lloyd’s birthday so I guess he can have any kind of party he wants! He is, after all, mostely a grown up! Wasta’s Santa coordinator has confirmed that the big guy is on track to visit December, 22nd (Saturday) at the community hall in Wasta. Be there at 5:00 to carol through town and 6:30 for hot drinks and munchies, while we wait ever so patiently to hear that special hearty Ho Ho Ho coming through the door of the Wasta Community Hall. Okay? Wasta, December 22nd. Wishing you all a joyous and blessed Christmas. Have you remembered to look for those little miracles every day? As this wanderer didn’t get submitted Monday, we can cover the junior high and high school Christmas program, Monday, December 17th. Ms. Christiansen put together another entertaining, enjoyable, and so very well done program. It was a treat to be in the audience! The band (sixth/seventh grade) set the pace with Christmas favorites that your ears and heart welcome. Madison Grenstiner is with the sixth grade band on percussion. Eighth through twelfth graders had their turn and kept our attention and toes tapping with some more modern selections. Autumn Deering did a good job representing Wasta, but we’ve never quite relinquished Emily Ferris to Wall so we claim two girls here — and thank you. Chorus: seventh and eighth grade took over, Madi Grenstiner and Emily Ferris, three selections, my favorite “Silver Bells” but fun to have the light hearted “Jingle Bell Rock” to get toes tapping and guys, Austin Carter and Austin Crawford seemed to enjoy Feliz Navidad. The evening was polished off with the chorus composed of high school, ninth through twelfth graders and again four selections each made unique by Ms. Christiansen — ‘Themes on Fa-La-La” so entertaining and the long standing favorite, “Silent Night” capped the wonderfully perfect (to my ears) evening. Kelly Green, Will Houseman and Dylan Carter lent their talents here and we thank you! Caitlin Ausmann, granddaughter of Dorothy Bathel, was in band and chorus and we thank you! No excuses for not being full of Christmas spirit! Remember Wasta Community Hall, Saturday, the 22nd, 5:00 p.m. for caroling, 6:30 for Santa. How beautiful is this morning! We eagerly open curtains for December sunshine as we quickly close for shade in July! Well, Feliz Navidad to all and Happy Trails!

This public service message is brought to you by the Pennington County Courant $ # $! #$ Ida Mae “Patty” Patterson, age 80, of Kadoka, S.D., died Tuesday, December 11, 2012, at the Hans P. Peterson Memorial Hospital in Philip, surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren. Ida Mae Shoemaker was born December 1, 1932, in Pierre, the daughter of Rollie and Eva (McKean) Shoemaker. She attended country school and graduated from Philip High School. One of Patty’s fondest memories is the old Cozy Hotel, which her parents owned and operated in Philip. Ida Mae married Jerry Patterson in 1949, and to this union were born six children Robert, Sharon, Grant, Scott, Cindy and Tammy. Patty’s children recall the many times she would take a load of children to baseball games. She didn’t want to deprive anyone of a ride. Ida Mae moved to Rapid City in 1964, where she worked and decided to further her education, graduating from National College of Business. She relocated to Denver and worked for the U.S. Life and Title Company, and worked weekends as a waitress, for many years. Being close to the sports life through her children, Ida Mae developed a love for football and became a big fan of the Denver Broncos. She was actually able to meet many of the players of the Denver Broncos team through her waitressing at the Elks Club. Wanting to be closer to her children and grandchildren, she moved back to Kadoka in 1990. In 1990, Patty went to work at her family’s business (Discount Fuel) as secretary/treasurer, and worked side by side, with Grant and Tammy, for 13 years before ill health forced Patty to retire. Patty enjoyed living at the family farm where she enjoyed the openness and could spend time with her cats. Patty enjoyed the Kadoka area and being able to spend time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. For health reasons, Patty had to leave the farm moving to the Senechal Hotel and then to the Silverleaf Assisted Living Center in Philip. She was an avid Philip Scotties fan and would sometimes feel like she was betraying the team if she sat on Kadoka’s side during a basketball game, but being her grandsons and granddaughters played for Kadoka, she was biased to her family’s team. She then moved to the Kadoka Nursing Home where she has been living until our Lord took her home to be with her other loving family who preceded her in death. Patty was a member of the Presbyterian Church, Cancer Society, and the Arbor Association. Ida Mae “Patty” will always be remembered as being a wonderful loving mother and grandmother whom loved each and everyone of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, whom she was so proud of. Survivors include her six children Robert Patterson of Kadoka, Sharon Bebout of Las Vegas, Nev., Grant Patterson and his wife, Susan, of Kadoka, Scott Patterson and his wife, Arla, of Kadoka; Cindy VanderMay and her husband, Mark, of Kadoka, and Tammy Carlson and her husband, Mark, of Kadoka; their father, Jerry Patterson of Kadoka, and his daughters, Lisa and April Patterson of Kadoka; 22 grandchildren Kenny Bebout of Las Vegas, Melissa Huber of Kadoka, Joey Patterson of Sioux Falls, Jeffrey, Adie and Nicholas Patterson of Kadoka, Preston Patterson of Sturgis, Skyler and Lane Patterson of Kadoka, Dallas Kendrick of Kadoka, Chris Kendrick of Pierre, Kanan VanderMay of Kadoka, Bethany Zipprich of Valdosta, Georgia, Tere, Kenar, and Jarrett VanderMay of Kadoka, Tashia Porch of Kadoka, Tanna Gardner of Pierre, Colter Carlson of Kadoka, Jerad Carlson of Huron, Seth and Tia Carlson of Kadoka; 18 great-grandchildren; two brothers, Gordon Shoemaker and his wife, Margaret, of Belle Fourche, and Don Shoemaker and his wife, Betty, of Evanston, Wyo.; one sister Alice Bentley of Rapid City; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Services were held Saturday, December 15, at the Presbyterian Church in Kadoka with Pastor Gary McCubbin officiating. Music was provided by Lyndy Ireland and Joyce Wheeler.

Jessie Tibbs was born in Pierre, S.D. on November 10, 1944, one of five children of Esther "Boyd" Tibbs and Ancel Tibbs. She attended rural schools until eighth grade when she moved in with her grandmother and attended Stanley County High School, where she graduated. She attended Black Hills State University where she received her degree in education. She married her husband of 46 years, Jerry Keckler, on August 18, 1966 in Pierre, SD. Jessie then began her 39-year teaching career with the CEB School System. Upon her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer she retired in 2010 to spend time with her family. Jessie was a founding board member of the Casey Tibbs Foundation and her greatest accomplishment was seeing the doors open to the South Dakota Rodeo Center. Jessie attended the Emanuel Lutheran Church in Eagle Butte and was a member of the United Church of Christ of Eagle Butte. There she taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School for many years and was the youth group advisor for twenty years. Jessie's greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren. They were the twinkle in her eye. Jessie was preceded in death by THE FATHER OF BELIEVERS By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam “Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness” (Rom. 4:3). Has it ever occurred to you that the most loved, the most honored, the most respected person of all history is — not Christ, but Abraham. Christ ought to be most loved, honored and respected, but Abraham is. Besides the millions of professing Christians there are untold millions of Jews and Mohammedans who speak with reverance of “our father Abraham.” Clearly this is why God used this man to show how to be saved and justified before a holy God. As Paul is God’s great example of grace, so Abraham is God’s great example of faith — saving faith. “If Abraham were justified by works,” says Rom. 4:2, he has something to boast about — but not before God, who sees and knows all. But Abraham was justified. How? “What saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness” (Ver. 3). God, of course, had planned salvation through the redemptive work of Christ and has always saved anyone who simply trusts Him and takes Him at His Word. Since Abraham, of course, more of God’s Word has been revealed and we know the details of Christ’s death for sinners. If we now take God at His Word and simply trust Christ as Savior we are completely justified, for salvation is not; cannot be, by works: “But to him that worketh not but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Rom. 4:5). “…through this Man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins, and by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses” (Acts 13:38,39).
